About us

Who We Are

Smart City was founded on the belief that collaboration and data-driven insights are key to addressing the challenges of modern governance. With deep roots in Central Texas, we leverage decades of experience in government relations, public policy, and community engagement to drive results. Whether working with city halls, county commissioners, or federal agencies, we deliver scalable solutions for complex issues.

Our expertise spans a range of policy areas, including:

Urban Mobility and Infrastructure: From navigating micro-mobility solutions like scooters to exploring advanced transportation methods such as electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, we’ve been at the forefront of shaping tomorrow’s cities.
Workforce Development: We’ve collaborated with leaders to advance workforce training initiatives tied to major infrastructure projects, such as Austin’s Project Connect.
Community and Economic Impact Studies: With projects spanning regions from Fredericksburg, Texas, to Aruba, Smart City provides actionable insights that drive local economies.
Development: From housing stock to commercial use, Smart City has helped make great projects happen.
Engagement and Outreach: Our work has navigated the most challenging terrain where messaging and community engagement is key.

What We Do

Smart City is more than a consulting group — we are problem-solvers who connect the dots between innovation, policy, and real-world application.

Central Texas Leadership: Our work includes partnerships with organizations like the Austin Film Society and Ascension Seton, where we’ve driven solutions tailored to local needs. We’re also proud to be part of Matthew McConaughey’s Greenlights initiative to secure federal funding for school safety.
National Presence: Smart City’s influence extends beyond Texas. From advising on short-term rental compliance to shaping national transportation policy with members of Congress, we bring a wealth of experience to every project.
PR and Advocacy: In addition to policy consulting, Smart City now offers public relations services, helping clients amplify their voices and reach key stakeholders.
